  1. You know what I want? I still want a refund. A refund for the piece of garbage that is the Relay G10S. Having worked with electronics all my life. Having spent 20 years working on machines from IBM to Dell and HP. There is more to this whole fiasco than Line is admitting. Hardware failures are dominoes waiting to fall. I would be willing to bet a fortune that this particular issue goes hand in hand with crappy sub par performance of all the relay devices. This is just a way for Line to mitigate the damage.
  2. That made me laugh. That is exactly what I did. oh wouldn't you know there's a recall now and they're issuing a refund. $16.50 for a $300 device that didn't work. I really love being right as much as I want to say I hate it I love being right. Don't ever buy this device. Save yourself the trouble. - pats self on back -
  3. Compromises? While I understand the technical details behind what you're saying. Let's not forget that the device cost between 250 and $300 depending on where you bought it. That's not a compromise. That's getting screwed because it doesn't work. I can't use it at all with my five string bass. It has active pickups and a pre amp with 18V of power. there are words I would like to say to describe what I think about that decision. But then my post will get deleted. Let's just say it's unbelievably idiotic. I should have kept the Shure I bought. not a single issue ever. But again I wanted the rechargeable battery. Not thinking that it would be an issue. Just a stupid stupid decision on my part and a stupid stupid design flaw. Why in the name of Zeus's A hole does the battery need to last for 8 hours? Even on my proudest days of practicing till my fingers bleed I never played for 8 hours straight. I said it in my original post and I'm still convinced I'm right. All of the issues can be traced to the rechargeable battery not being able to provide enough power to the wireless signal. That and the lack of external antennas. It's gotten to the point for me where I can't even use it anymore. I literally just threw it across my living room. What a joke. I will never ever buy anything that line 6 makes again. Whether anyone gives a crap about that or not so what. They lost a consumer for life
  4. I was under the impression the device was supposed to choose the best available channel when I dock the transmitter and the channel selector is set to Auto. It always chooses a channel with interference. I have to take the time to scan the channels with my phone to see what interference there may or may not be every time I use the device. Then manually select a channel I am on my 2nd unit. The first was already replaced by support. In addition to the auto channel issue I have had more or less all of the same issues that everyone else has posted about this product. In the end support pointed the finger at me and said it was the environment I was using it in or something else that I was doing wrong. I've worked in IT for 20 years. I'm 99.99% sure I know more about radio signals and how they work than everyone at the line 6 support department. At least anyone I talked to. This device is plagued with issues and way overpriced for the performance. I am in no way surprised that the finger was pointed at me in the end but that's ridiculous. Most of the time I use it I can only get it to go for about 30 seconds without the signal cutting out. If I'm lucky 5 or 10 minutes. But only if I scan the Wi-Fi network with my phone and then manually choose a channel. Every single time I use it. if I'd wanted performance like this I would have spent less than $100. Because that's about how much this device is worth. If that. It should not be marketed as a device to use for live performances that is a joke. Especially being marketed as a device that can be used in conjunction with other similar devices in a live performance. Fat chance. I would love to see that in action. Because there's no way. I've used products from other manufacturers in the environment that I'm using this product in and they worked just fine. I wanted a rechargeable battery so I bought this one. Huge mistake. if I were to guess the rechargeable battery is most likely the number one reason why this happens. It probably cannot produce enough power in a crowded or congested Wi-Fi environment. Rechargeable batteries are notorious for not being as powerful as alkaline batteries. Regardless of whatever the issue is if you have not bought one of these yet don't
